Watch–Obama Defends BLM Protesters: ‘This Country Was Founded on Protesting Against Injustice’Hannah Bleau 27 Oct 2020
Former President Barack Obama spoke at a drive-in rally in Orlando, Florida, on behalf of Joe Biden (D) Tuesday and forcefully defended the Black Lives Matter protests that have taken place across the country — many of which have been dominated by looting and violence.
“But Joe and Kamala, they care deeply about people, America, and they care about our democracy,†Obama told supporters before defending the protests.
“They understand that protest is not un-American. This country was founded on protesting against injustice,†he declared, praising Americans of “all races†for “joining together to declare — in the face of injustice and brutality at the hands of the state — that Black Lives Matter no more but no less.â€
“So that no child in this country should feel the continuing sting of racism,†he added.
Obama told the group that they cannot abandon “all those young people who are out on the streets.†Rather, Democrats must “channel their activism into action.â€
“We can’t just dream for a better future. We gotta fight for a better future,†Obama said.
